Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen belonging to 770,000 strong Sikh community in Canada, was waylaid by two hooded assassins outside a parking lot of a Gurdawara who sprayed him with 41 bullets in broad daylight before making good their escape. It was the proverbial murder most foul, committed on a foreign soil violating the sovereignty of a nation that prides itself as the most enthusiastic proponent of “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) doctrine of the world, writes Dr Raashid Wali Janjua.A wanton disregard of international humanitarian and human rights law and violation of diplomatic norms was on display in Hardeep SinghNijjar’s assassination.

Another vital and direct impact we can have in strengthening our ecosystem is through resilient and sustainable food systems.Food systems are both a major cause of climate change—accounting for a third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions— and extremely fragile in the face of natural disasters. Therefore, climate mitigation and decarbonization strategies in this sector will be critical to reaching the Paris Agreement’s overarching goal of limiting temperature increases to ‘well below 2 degrees Celsius’. As a country particularly vulnerable to climate change effect...
